About the Gallery
Harry Beer and Will Jarvis established The Sunday Painter in 2009 as an artist-run project space to show the work of their friends and peers. Conceived while the founders were art students at the Chelsea College of Arts and the Camberwell College of Arts, the gallery was originally located in a disused function room of a local pub in Peckham. In 2013, The Sunday Painter found a permanent space and transitioned to a commercial gallery model, with Tom Cole joining the gallery as a partner, representing and exhibiting the work of emerging and mid-career artists from the UK and abroad, including Leo Fitzmaurice, Rob Chavasse, Piotr Łakomy, and Samara Scott. In 2017, the gallery moved to its current space in Vauxhall, opening with gallery artist Cynthia Daignault’s first UK solo exhibition. The gallery’s origins are reflected in its commitment to running an artist-first space and cultivating a program that continually confronts, questions, and evolves with itself and the world around it.

Making the trip to New York from London, The Sunday Painter gallery stood out with a large 100-piece artwork by American artist Cynthia Daignault, which covered an entire wall of their booth.
The artist's conceptual paintings push the limit of the medium one step further.
Lowndes, who died in 2010, did bewitching, unexpected things to clay, wrapping it around, under and through other matter to transform it into sculptures that seem utterly alien and compellingly organic.
The week before her first Los Angeles show, on her first visit to the city, the London–based artist Samara Scott rented a car and slowly cruised around the dryness, “ingesting the landscape” under “the presence of the sky that is so intense here that everything feels like a backdrop, like it’s been flat-packed.”
The artist Emma Hart is not a fan of the glossy, filtered visions of life offered by Instagram, at least as most people use it.
